Good piece of hitting by Wise

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) For someone that catches so many inside fastballs, you'd think he'd realize that's how the opposition is going to pitch him until he can prove he can hit that pitch. He hasnt figured that out in his entire career so far.

Good job Flowers. Been useless this series.

Well this has been fun

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 08:03 PM) They showed Parent sending calls in to Flowers last inning Interesting...not liking that at all

Great Donnie Veal will come in and walk Span.

*facepalm*

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) The pitch selection is insane i think its Flowers

Its like clockwork....why did we give this guy his option?

God damn you Gavin

Please dont give up anymore runs Gavin

Good job De Aza

Really hoping Danks gets his velocity back.

Damage limited thankfully

Yay implosion

Here we go

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) You get him from the stretch and against a lefty, and it's a recipe for trouble. Indeed

Flowers went from an asset to a complete liability in the lineup

Conor has looked pretty good so far this year

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 07:30 PM) We watched it with Javy for 3 years, same with Floyd from 2009-2013. Nothing new or particularly shocking at this point. Never said it was new or shocking. But its still frustrating.

I dont get Gavin...looks good for a while. Makes 1 mistake and then proceeds to crap his pants from that point on. Its been incredibly frustrating to watch since he's pitched here.

Ahh the Gavin Floyd melt down....right on time

nice pitch gavin

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Defensively it probably is. Thing is we needed more than a couple strike outs from him yesterday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 09:31 PM) This team is in HUGE trouble if Viciedo, Flowers and Beckham all founder. That's not news. The only way for us to win is with dominant starting pitching and a better save conversion ratio than 2012. Everything went right last year and we still ended up short in the end. I don't think one game against the Nationals in April will tell the whole story....obviously....but they've really got to start playing much better defense, strike early in the game with RISP and get someone to step up in the bullpen. So far, it has been Addison Reed. Giving up those 7th and 8th runs really stung the comeback effort. And the real John Danks has to show up this season, at some point. I guess someone had to start the talk about blowing it up 7 games into the season while being tied for lead in the division.
